Interview with Greg Burnett

This month, we have the pleasure of introducing you to Greg Burnett – the photographer, the storyteller, the man. Ok, maybe that was a bit over the top because while Greg is an amazing photographer, he is honestly one of the most laid back guys you’ll ever meet. Bob, Greg and I laughed and chatted like old friends during our conversation about his professional photography (documentary style wedding sessions mostly) and his true passion, street photography. It was a real pleasure.

As Johnny Cash would say, “Greg’s been everywhere, man.” Greg went to art school in the late 80s and thereafter packed up his camera, two lenses, a few rolls of film and then took off to travel the country for 12 years, during which he visited all 50 states. (Can you just imagine that street photography archive?!) Nowadays, Greg is more settled, living at home with his family, but his wanderlust and love of street photography never left him. Join our conversation to hear more about traveling, photography and connecting with others from a street photographer with decades of experience.

A Selection of Greg’s Photos

Greg Burnett

Street Photography is the art of being able to capture unplanned interesting moments in time as they occur spontaneously in public spaces. In my opinion, the subject, composition, light and the story I'm trying to tell is way more important than image quality. Using techniques I'v gathered over the last 30 years, a small camera and wide-angle lens enables me to get nice and close to my subjects. The advantage of the wide angle gives the viewer a sense of being there in the moment. When I hit the streets I have no preconceptions, the process is based on seeing and reacting. Street photography is like trying to catch a fish with your bare hands.
